Do you need a break? From what?

I belong to a generation that has seen life without phones and the internet. I’ve witnessed how a simple communication device is transferred quickly and keep updating regularly. And slowly and silently become a vital part of life. And we also accepted it too and no any question arises, it became a part of our culture.

This evolution has completely changed the entire human life style. Mobile phones have become a compulsory part of life. Living without it seems impossible. When work ends, there’s the dazzling world of social media, videos, and reels. So much is happening through this device. I think in 24 hours, I’ll have at least 8-10 hours of screen time.

I’ve often felt compelled to get involved in meaningless things, only to realize later that I’ve just wasted my time. So I want a proper break from mobile phone and internet. Turn off unnecessary notifications and avoid constant multitasking on devices. Create screen-free times for a week or month. Engage in offline hobbies, reading, travelling, gardening, cooking, or fitness routines.

  1. When I was in the break room there were five of us. I was the only one not bent over viewing the tiny screen and may as well have been in outer space at that time. My attempts to converse were as though I was away from their news feed and irrelevant spam.

    It’s true Shashwat—your reflection hits home for our screen-saturated generation! I’ve lived that shift too, from phone-free days to 10-hour scrolls that steal precious time on reels and notifications. A proper break sounds liberating: imagine reclaiming those hours for gardening, a poetry session under the stars, or an invigorating cycle ride through Delhi’s parks. Let’s commit to those screen-free pockets—reading a real book, cooking a heartfelt meal, or simply breathing in the offline world. Thanks for the nudge; time to unplug and truly reconnect!
